Near Las Vegas?

[gasparhunter713]

I was referred to a few websites of known treasure stories but none of these are anywhere near the las vegas area. I am willing to travel outside of vegas but i was wondering if anyone knew or can send me a link of possible leads in the surrounding areas of las vegas.

thanks

There isn't much of anything to be found around las vegas or nevada. There isn't much history there, there aren't many gems there, not much ore except for northern nevada.

Nevada is the #1 gold producing state in the US.
Wherever it is in the state, in lost treasures or elsewhere, it's within a day's drive of LAS.

A lot of that gold is in the form of micron or lightly embedded gold ore. They are plenty of empty ghost towns to prove that. There aren't really many operating mines here. Many people come here with gold fever and go home with empty pockets and wallets.
